Deckchairs - Poem by Matthew Holloway

I see a picture in my heartOf us both in old ageSitting quietly on a beachHand in hand, almost as oneA wealth of memories sharedA strength found togetherA happy love, a happy lifeAnd still yet more to comeThe adventures and storiesWhich can weather any stormAnd be counted as numerousAnd beautiful as every pebleWashed upon this shoreI see this picture and keep itFor it is all I wish to beAn old man sat beside his loveWatching the sea
